NHS ’clearly failing’ to ensure children get measles vaccine, experts warn

Calls grow for reform of England's vaccination system including delivery of jabs in pharmacies as take-up falls

Calls are growing for major reform of how MMR jabs are delivered as it emerged that vaccination rates in some parts of England are now on a par with those in Afghanistan and Malawi.
